Indeed, the definition and use of __index__ has derived since PEP 357. Nowadays, __index__ means "can be converted to an int without loss". In any case, I find the behaviour of your "logical type" a bit dubious. If it's like bool but ternary, it should convert to int (or perhaps be an int subclass like bool).
